Chicago post-rock pioneers Tortoise returned with Beacons of Ancestorship in 2009, marking their first collection of new material in five years following the unfocused It's All Around You and a covers album. This release found the influential quintet in a unique position, reasserting their mastery of intricate electronic-rock compositions that helped define the post-rock genre.
The album showcases Tortoise's signature blend of meticulous rhythmic patterns and atmospheric textures across ten carefully crafted tracks, from the opening "High Class Slim Came Floatin' In" to the closing "Monument Six One Thousand." This Thrill Jockey pressing comes in a premium gatefold jacket with artworked inner sleeve and includes a free download card, making it an essential addition for collectors of innovative instrumental music.
